4-2-3-1 “genius” in the eyes for the work of spurs

There is only one month of the season left, and as such, rumors of transfer began to swirl in the clubs in the Premier leaguealthough for Tottenham HotspurThese rumors concern the manager’s position.

Angel Postcoglou could be two games from a Europa League Final, but as things stand, He supervised 18 championship losses And has a real chance of leading the Northern Londoners to a 17th place.

It is therefore not surprising that last week saw a certain number of best coaches in England and abroad linked to the management of his work in summer.

One of the most eminent candidates of The moment seems to be Bournemouth Andoni IraolaAlthough on the basis of recent reports, the club may have identified an even better option.

Tottenham manager search

Before arriving at the director in question, it is worth examining some of the other potential candidates who were linked to jobs in the last week approximately, like Marco Silva.

The boss of Fulham has done an incredible job in western London since he was appointed in 2021, leading the Cottagers to the promotion and by transforming them into a solid mid -table team that beat Arsenal, Liverpool and Newcastle United this season.

Another impressive coach linked to the post in recent days has been Thomas Frank de Brentford.

According to to the Matt law of the telegraphLilywhites technical director Johan Lange is a big fan of the 51 -year -old man, and it is not difficult to see why, like Silva, he led his team to the top and transformed them into a solid team that can give anyone a game, despite the loss of the star attacker Ivan Toney in summer.

However, another name also appeared to replace PostCoglou potential, a manager who could also be a better option than Iraola: Roberto de Zerbi.

According to to the journalist Graeme BaileyThe former boss of Brighton & Hove Albion is a “name that some in Tottenham appreciate”.

Known to be something of a passionate character, he could be the perfect match to have spurs in summer and a better rental again than the man of Bournemouth.

How Zerbi compared to Iraola

So, if the Spurs consider Zerbi and Iraola as potential replacements for Postocoglou, how do they compare each other?

Well, from a basic stylistic point, the two managers prefers to use a 4-2-3-1 Training when possible, which can be ideal for Northern Londoners, as it could see the bottom line receive more protection and allow James Maddison or Dejan Kulusevski to flourish as the most attacking midfielder with Pacey Widemen on each side and Dominic Solanke leading the line.

In addition, while the Italian likes to play a high line, he prefers to play two fields in the field, According to the football analystThis could help prevent this line from being exploited as often as under angel.

That said, what are the manager’s recent recordings like?

Well, during his time with Brighton, the tactician “genius”, baptized by the analyst Statman Davewon 38 games, attracted 20 and lost 31, which led him to an average of 1.51 points per game, while the cherry boss won 33 gamesPulled 19 and lost 30 on the southern coast, causing an average of 1.44 points per match.

However, something to consider is that on securing seagulls European football in season 22/23The boss born in Brescia now manages one of the two biggest clubs in France, Olympique de Marseille.

He has the average 1.81 points per match on the French Riviera, therefore, unlike the former man of Rayo Vallecano, he knows what is to take care of a massive institution and all the pressure and an intense examination which accompanies him.

In the end, Zerbi and Iraola would almost certainly improve football and the results of the Spurs next season, but the first has the experience of leading a “ Grand Club ”, which could well make him the best candidate for the Northern Londoners.
